Short filmTranscript
00:12Tomorrow is my 18th birthday. I can finally leave this place for good, and live with my knight, my fiancΓ©
00:18Leon, forever.
00:24Damn, you're getting better and better at this.
00:26I only have your highness's training. I'm nothing but your loyal weapon from battlefield to bedchain.
00:33Leon, how could you do this to me? Tomorrow is the day you're supposed to come and take me as
00:39your bride. I've been waiting for this since I was ten.
00:46You're really willing to let your fiancΓ© marry that evil dragon who feasts on brides and feel nothing at all?
00:51She's only the king's bastard after all, being able to spare you and her majesty the burden by sending her
00:57in your place.
00:58And if you rip us her before he kills her?
01:03Then her sacrifice will be even more meaningful. Her blood will buy the kingdom at least ten years of peace.
01:08It's the best deal we could ask for.
01:27Eileen, you're not going anywhere. Come with me. We have a wedding to prepare.
01:31What's the point of preparing for a wedding? Wouldn't it be simpler to just kill me now?
01:37How could we do that? You're the princess.
01:40I never imagined that the freedom I've waited eighteen years for would end like this.
01:45Because you're the filthy little snake blood half-breed father could never stand the sight of.
01:50Eileen, mind your tongue around the princess.
01:54Guards, take her. Lock her in the water dungeon.
02:01Every ten years, the Empire must offer ten brides to the Dragon King. Otherwise, dragon fire will rain down and
02:10burn our towns to ash.
02:12This year will be different. I only want one of you. The rest may live.
02:20My patience is running out. Otherwise, you all die.
02:27Ten...
02:28Nine...
02:29Even if I live, what then? I've never had a family who loved me.
02:33Six...
02:34Five...
02:34I've been a walking corpse for years, but they're different.
02:38Three...
02:38Three...
02:40Two...
02:41Three...
02:43Three...
02:46Four...
02:49Four...
02:50Four...
02:51Eileen!
02:53Eileen...
02:54Farewell.
02:55I'm sorry, Maya. I swore I'd take good care of her, but I had no choice.
02:59If I didn't do this, the people would revolt and the kingdom would fall.
03:04You're still thinking about that shameless woman?
03:06She was the one who couldn't keep her legs shut.
03:09Cheated on you with the snake folk, and that's how that little snake blood half-breed came to be.
03:13Trading her for ten years peace is a bargain.
03:16You, on the other hand, should be worrying about your own daughter.
03:19Wickie is already eighteen.
03:21Prince Silmus of the Serpent Clan.
03:22May his magic truly protect Wickie and this kingdom.
03:27A wise decision, my king. I'll go make the marriage arrangements.
03:32You pathetic old fool. This crown should have been mine long ago.
03:42Who are you?
03:44Are you a dragon too? You don't bite, do you? Can I pet you?
03:49Don't touch it. That's the fierce beast of the Sky Castle, its guardian.
03:54My lord, I offered myself willingly as your bride.
03:58You can eat me if you must. Just spare the innocent commoners.
04:02In the eyes of you foolish humans, I'm nothing but a man-eating monster, am I?
04:10I don't know if you eat people or not, but...
04:14I'm hungry! I need food! Otherwise I'll starve to death here!
04:20There is no food in the Sky Castle. Drink some Sky Water and you'll feel full.
04:29No food in the Sky Castle.
04:47I'm hungry!
04:47My lord! Wake up!
04:49My lord! Wake up!
04:50My lord! Wake up!
05:10Don't come any closer.
05:11This is a ladies bathroom.
05:13Men and women shouldn't share a bath.
05:15But I'm not human.
05:17That still doesn't mean
05:19you can just strip my head claws off
05:21whenever you want.
05:22If I don't take off your clothes to wash you
05:25how can I eat clean
05:27and delicious food?
05:28You can eat me.
05:30I'm willing to be eaten by you.
05:32But before I die
05:33could you at least let Celi one one make time?
05:36How dare you mention another man in front of me?
05:52He's actually more handsome than humans.
05:57If I looked like this
05:59would you still reject me?
06:01Didn't you volunteer to be my bride?
06:04I won't eat you
06:05but you must let me.
06:07Let me insert this huge thing down below
06:09into your body.
06:10What did you say?
06:12Then you should become pregnant
06:13and give birth to a more powerful dragon egg for me.
06:16But because of this
06:17you might not be able to withstand it.
06:19Facing the risk of exploding
06:21and dying.
06:23Please.
06:25Please just eat me.
06:27How could I ever eat you?
06:30As long as you bear my egg
06:32I'll guarantee the people of your kingdom
06:35safe and unharmed.
06:38You swear?
06:41Of course I swear by this dragon.
07:12Who are you?
07:13Have you forgotten your own husband this soon?
07:15What are you for real?
07:17A dragon?
07:18Or a man?
07:19We dragons can take on any form we wish.
07:22But humans cursed us.
07:24When only one dragon remains in this world
07:26the curse says he can't fully change back
07:29unless the bride who truly loves him
07:31bears his child.
07:33Only then will the spell be broken.
07:35So right now you're...
07:36Last night you
07:37took the initiative to have my descendants
07:40so I can manage to change back halfway.
07:49Seems you're still not quite used
07:51to your husband's appearance.
07:52I could never fall in love with a beast.
07:54I have endless time to wait.
07:58Until you...
08:04It's freezing here.
08:06Can you take me away from this place?
08:08I have to get out of here
08:09before I die in coldness.
08:21That bitch!
08:22All of this perfect man
08:23should have been mine!
08:26My sweet girl
08:27the serpent clan is way stronger.
08:29The dragon tribe has come down
08:30to that pathetic half-dragon
08:31half-human freak.
08:32I don't care!
08:33That one doesn't get to walk away with this.
08:34I was supposed to be the dragon's bride!
08:36Me!
08:36Enough!
08:39You're about to be betrothed
08:40to the serpent prince.
08:41Watch your tongue.
08:42Father, why is Eileen still breathing?
08:45Eileen was taken by the dragon king
08:46to save your life.
08:47Silas has already agreed
08:48to send troops against the sky castle
08:50and bring Eileen back.
08:51As long as she's still alive
08:52you should pray she returns to us safe.
08:54What did you say?
08:55Are you sending an army to rescue her?
08:57It's the perfect excuse
08:58to march on the dragon
08:59and besides
09:00I gave Maya my word
09:01I'd look after her daughter.
09:03I won't discuss this further.
09:07Mother, it's not fair!
09:09Don't worry.
09:10Eileen will die.
09:12I can guarantee.
09:18Let me go!
09:20You!
09:20You monster!
09:22It seems I've been
09:24far too indulgent with you.
09:26Me!
09:32Reflect on your actions here.
09:35You'll stay until you've come
09:37to your senses.
09:42Open up!
09:44Let me out!
09:51I'm so cold.
09:53I'm so hungry.
09:59The dragon's sanctum
10:00is no playground
10:01for mere mortal.
10:15You think you can just
10:16march in here?
10:25What a high maintainments, woman.
10:28What a high maintainments, woman.
10:35My lord, save me.
10:38I'm freezing.
10:40Now you finally remember me.
10:43Darling, I'm sorry.
10:45I'm sorry.
10:54Wait!
10:55It's too much!
11:01Dear lord.
11:23You're so cold.
11:26Dear lord.
11:31I can't raise a hand against her.
11:37Do you actually think you're someone special?
11:39I am the Princess of the Empire.
11:41I'm not asking, Leon.
11:43I'm ordering you to kill that wrench.
11:47As you command, my princess.
11:49Do this right,
11:51and Silas might just let you stay on
11:54as my little secret.
11:56My lapdog.
12:00I'll deploy my troops on one condition.
12:04You publicly declare me
12:06the rightful heir to the throne.
12:09Is the Sky Castle not enough for you?
12:12Keep it, Ben.
12:13It doesn't matter.
12:14Once you're dead, the Empire falls to me anyway.
12:18Everything will be yours,
12:20provided you marry my daughter.
12:22And Eileen must be mine
12:25as well.
12:29Not a chance!
12:30She is Maya's daughter!
12:31Oh man, the only woman I'm marrying
12:34is the one you've proclaimed to the world
12:36as the Princess of this Empire.
12:38This Empire.
12:39This Empire.
12:44This Empire.
12:49My lord.
12:59You expect me to eat this raw?
13:02Just like that?
13:02How else are you supposed to eat it?
13:04You clearly have no idea
13:06that humans don't do raw.
13:07So much trouble.
13:09My lord!
13:12Hmm?
13:14My lord.
13:15How about I teach you how to grill?
13:18Absolutely not.
13:19I refi-
13:21Your turn.
13:22Light the fire, please.
13:23You want me to use
13:25my noble dragon flame
13:26to cook a fish?
13:28Exactly.
13:37Um,
13:39would you mind
13:39if we went back
13:41and caught another one?
13:42No!
13:50Say,
13:51uh.
13:53Uh.
14:04My bride looks after me, and me alone.
14:15That's the first time I've seen you smile.
14:43This time I've seen you smile.
14:53Noah! Stop! You're hurting me! Please!
15:12Noah, why did you bring me here?
15:15The wind. It feels like it's screaming.
15:18It's not the wind. It's the ghosts of my kind.
15:23Look at this cliff, Eileen.
15:25What happened here?
15:27Ten years ago, I watched my father die, pierced by human spears.
15:33I was so small, so full of hate.
15:37I jumped from this very ledge, wishing for death.
15:46But you survived.
15:51I didn't just survive. I changed.
15:55At that moment, I became the last dragon on Earth.
16:13Stop! I can hear them!
16:15The women crying!
16:18That is the legacy of my ancestors.
16:20They sang the dragon song to lure girls like you.
16:24Why? Just to kill them?
16:26To survive. To breed.
16:29But no human girl could survive the hatching of a dragon egg.
16:38They died in agony, their bodies.
16:42They literally burst from the inside.
16:48And the dragon fire, I saw it in my dreams.
16:53My ancestors burned them alive, hoping the flames would save the eggs.
17:00It never worked.
17:05Now you know why I keep you at a distance.
17:08To touch you is to sentence you to death.
17:16He told me the truth, how every bride before me died, burned and torn apart from the inside.
17:22I should be screaming, but all I see is a man drowning in a curse.
17:26I won't let him face it alone.
17:28Get away! Didn't you hear me?
17:31If you don't run, you'll be the next name carved into these stones!
17:35My inner beast has smelled your blood.
17:37It's begging me to tear you apart!
17:40Then why are you shaking?
17:42If you were just a beast, you wouldn't be suffering like this just to warn me.
17:53Because I refuse to be a monster like my father.
17:56I won't watch you turn to ashes in the flames.
17:59Then don't be him.
18:01I'm right here.
18:03I'm not afraid.
18:04Her kindness is a trap.
18:07If I let her stay close, I will lose control and kill her.
18:11If I can't make her leave, I'll make her wish she had never stayed.
18:20You want to save me?
18:22I'll make you regret every heartbeat you spend in this castle.
18:27Noah?
18:28What are you doing?
18:30Kindness is meaningless to a monster, Eileen.
18:33Since you've chosen this fate, I will lock you away and show you the true power of the dragon.
18:38I will break you before the curse does.
18:41And you just have nothing to do all this.
18:48Thank you very much.
18:49All the times you've chosen this little night.
18:55You stay alive.
18:56You will lose your hand.
18:57It's hot.
19:03You're almost at the breach of your heart.
19:04Don't hurt your parents.
19:04You got a nervous ΠΌΠ΅ΡΡΠΎ in the you of three cases.
19:04You're so fucking Watson.
19:05I'm so hollow.
19:05You're so happy.
19:05I love you.
19:06I love you.
19:15Noah, let me go. Why are you doing this?
19:18The humans and the serpent clan. They are coming for my head. I need the dragon's power to kill them.
19:25Then let me help you. Don't lock me away like a prisoner.
19:31You don't understand. The more I stay a dragon, the less I can control the hunger for you.
19:37Wally.
19:40Keep your pet quiet or I'll feed him to the storm.
19:45You're becoming a monster before the battle even begins.
19:54Stay alive, even if you hate me.
20:01So, she likes it rough.
20:04A little Fost pay to keep the marriage spicy?
20:08Eileen, you're getting more and more to my taste.
20:14I can't wait to see you scream in my chairs.
20:19The king thinks I'm his savior. He actually believes I'll help him rescue you, his daughter, for free.
20:26Foolish old man, I will use the human army as bait to lure the dragon into my curse formation.
20:36Once the beast is trapped, I will swallow the Empire and the Sky Hustle in one bite.
20:45And you, Eileen, you are the ultimate key.
20:49You are the dragon's heart and the human princess.
20:53By making you my bride, I won't just be a king.
21:00I will be the god of the three realms.
21:04Your scream will be my victory song.
21:16I brought some food from the human realm.
21:18The kind you used to like.
21:20I don't want your cakes.
21:22I want my freedom.
21:24Freedom?
21:25To run back to that traitor Leon?
21:27Or to be eaten by the serpents?
21:30That is my home.
21:32I won't die.
21:33Don't you understand yet?
21:35You are just a disposable pawn they can sacrifice at any moment.
21:40You have no home anymore.
21:42Your freedom is to stay right here and live.
21:48Noah, are you okay?
21:50Stop hurting yourself.
21:52I'm trying to keep you safe.
21:57Why can't you just obey me?
22:00Because I'm your woman, not your trophy.
22:02Fight the beast, Noah.
22:04Don't let it win.
22:19Stay back.
22:20The dragon, it wants to tear you apart and consume you.
22:24No, Noah.
22:25Look at me.
22:26Not with the dragon's eyes, but with yours.
22:29It's too late.
22:31The scent of your blood, it's calling to the beast.
22:33Then listen to this.
22:35This is a human heart.
22:37If you want me, you have to find your own again.
22:44Why?
22:45Why don't you run?
22:46I'm a monster, Eileen.
22:47A monster wouldn't try this hard to protect me from himself.
23:11There are thousands of them.
23:13Leon and Silas.
23:15They've actually come.
23:17They don't come for you, Eileen.
23:19They come for the power they think I possess.
23:21Noah, please, don't let the dragon take over again.
23:25I don't need the dragon for these ants.
23:27Watch.
23:33It's a slaughter.
23:37They never stood a chance.
23:39Not all of them.
23:41One rat survived.
23:48Look at you, Noah.
23:50Playing house with a human girl while your kingdom burns.
23:55You're lucky the storm hasn't ripped your tongue out yet, Silas.
23:58Oh, but you should thank me.
24:00Do you even know who you're protecting?
24:03I'm nothing to you, Simus.
24:04Leave us alone.
24:05Nothing.
24:05You're the secret daughter of the High King.
24:08The blood of the very man who hunted Noah's father to death.
24:14Is it true?
24:16You carry the blood of my father's murderer?
24:18I didn't know.
24:20Noah, I never knew.
24:23She's the bait dragon.
24:25And you fell for him.
24:41Duke, my love, save me!
24:50I was so small, so full of hate.
24:55I jumped from this very ledge, wishing for death.
25:01The man who killed my father.
25:03He did it for Maya.
25:05You have her eyes.
25:07Tell me the truth!
25:09Maya was my mother, but I am not Duke's blood.
25:12I am the child of her shame, not his crown!
25:18Look at her, the king's pure little bird.
25:22Don't you want to see what happens when you clip her wings?
25:26And what do I get in return, my queen?
25:29Let your guards defile her.
25:31Make her your vessel.
25:33Do this, and I am yours.
25:48No!
25:54Duke, please.
25:57She has my eyes.
25:58She is innocent.
26:00Don't, don't let them kill her.
26:02Innocent, she is the living proof that you were touched by those snakes.
26:07Just let her live.
26:09As a servant.
26:10Anything.
26:12This is the serpent's filth.
26:14You are my greatest shame.
26:15You are a curse I must keep in the shadows.
26:24Noah, look at you.
26:25Guarding a woman who was born in my people's fifth.
26:28Does she smell like the snake pit yet?
26:33I will rip the tongue out of your head, Silas.
26:36She is mine!
26:38Enjoy the leftovers, dragon.
26:40When I'm done, this castle becomes my nest.
26:44And Eileen, she'll finally come home to the snakes.
26:49Let's go to the snakes.
26:59Attack!
27:00Kill the dragon!
27:01Bring me the girl alive!
27:03Out of the Π΄Π°Π²Π°ΠΉΡΠ΅!
27:08Step off!
27:08We may die!
27:14We may die!
27:24Stop!
27:43Your heart belongs to me now, Noah.
27:47Noah! Get up!
27:50Don't let him take you!
28:02I will tear you into bloody pieces!
28:07Get out of my reel!
28:11Impressive, Noah.
28:13You burned half your life force just to kill a...
28:16shadow.
28:17No! No!
28:19A shadow?
28:21I am everywhere.
28:23And I am nowhere.
28:25If a mere projection could break your wings, imagine what I will do when I arrive in person.
28:33Next time it won't be a test.
28:35It will be your funeral.
28:39And Eileen will finally have a real king.
28:47Noah!
28:48No, please, my lord, don't die!
28:50Don't leave me alone in this darkness!
29:03Noah, look at me.
29:04His words are just poison.
29:06I am here.
29:07I am not going anywhere.
29:09I should have burned them all!
29:11I'm still a monster to them.
29:12And maybe to you too.
29:14No.
29:15You are the man who saved me.
29:18But if you keep acting like a beast, you're just giving them what they want.
29:27And what do you want, Eileen?
29:29I want a husband.
29:31Not a weapon.
29:35Learn to control the fire inside, Noah.
29:38If you want me to stay, show me you can be more than just a dragon.
29:51How is she still alive?
29:56That servant should be dragon beat.
29:59Simus, go get her.
30:00Bring her back so I can make her pay myself.
30:05Did I hear a command, Wiki?
30:07I...
30:08I am the princess!
30:11You are my fiancΓ©!
30:13You are nothing but a pawn for this alliance.
30:16Don't mistake a snake's patience for loyalty.
30:25I'll bring the dragon back.
30:27But the girl...
30:28She belongs to me now.
30:32A pawn?
30:33You think I'm just a piece on your board?
30:36I am the blood of the Empire.
30:40If Silas wants that servant so badly, he can have her corpse.
30:45I'll burn the Sky Castle to the ground before I let her take my throne.
30:49Or my man!
30:51You want to see her scream, Silas?
30:57I'll make sure she's screaming for mercy when she meets her end.
31:05Too hard, Noah.
31:07You're trying to touch me, not crush a stone.
31:09Again.
31:12This is ridiculous.
31:14My claws are for killing, not for stroking skin.
31:18If you want to be with me, you have to learn, softly, like a breeze.
31:24Is this what humans call gentle?
31:28Yes.
31:29And try not to singe my hair with your breath next time.
31:35You are a very demanding bride, Eileen.
31:44And I have kept my promise.
31:46I am listening to you now.
31:48But Eileen, I need you to feel my world too.
31:51Not just the one you imagined, but the one I truly live in.
31:55You must see the sky through a dragon's eyes.
31:58Not just a prisoner's.
32:03Noah, the heights.
32:05They remind me of the storm.
32:07Of the way you grabbed me in the darkness.
32:10I'm afraid of that power.
32:14The storm is only one side of me.
32:17Humans fear the wind because it can tear down houses.
32:20But they forget it's the same wind that carries a bird home.
32:24It sounds so violent.
32:27It feels like it's screaming.
32:29Listen closer.
32:30If you don't fight it, the wind becomes a cradle.
32:35Close your eyes, Eileen.
32:37Trust me.
32:38I want to show you the world not as a battlefield, but as a masterpiece.
32:47Noah!
32:48We're going too fast!
32:50Please, put me down!
32:51Open your eyes, Eileen!
32:52Look at what it means to be a dragon!
33:04It's beautiful.
33:06The world looks so small from here.
33:09The humans only see the storm.
33:12They never look high enough to see the peace above it.
33:17I'm not afraid anymore.
33:19With you, I feel free.
33:22Then stay here.
33:23Be the only light in my endless sky.
33:40Eileen, there is a reason I haven't claimed you yet.
33:44I thought you were just trying to be human for me.
33:47It's more than that.
33:49To truly stabilize my power, we must perform the great rule of the dragons.
33:52A wedding?
33:53A soul binding.
33:55Our hearts must beat as one during the union.
33:57Only then will the beast truly submit to my will.
33:59You mean...
34:01If we don't do this, you'll never be able to control the dragon?
34:05If I don't, I will eventually lose my mind.
34:08But I won't force you.
34:09Show me the way, Noah.
34:11I want to be your bride.
34:21A hundred years of darkness.
34:23I thought that's all I deserved.
34:26Anger kept me alive.
34:28I figured one day it'd swallow me whole.
34:30I was just...
34:31waiting to die.
34:33My whole life, I've been invisible.
34:36No one wanted me in that palace.
34:38I was a shadow with no name.
34:41A servant.
34:44Until...
34:44You were never invisible to me.
34:47The moment you stepped onto that sacrificial ship,
34:50you became the only place I could breathe.
34:53A human heart.
34:55Taught the beast how to feel.
34:58Then let the girl with no home find one in your arms.
35:02I don't need a palace, Noah.
35:04I just need you.
35:06Everything else, I can learn.
35:10This is my vow.
35:13As long as the sky remains and the dragon fire burns,
35:16you are no servant.
35:18You are the only queen of the sky.
35:23Aylan, will you bind your soul to mine?
35:26Through blood and breath,
35:28through fire and eternity?
35:30Yes.
35:31A thousand times yes.
35:32I choose you, Noah.
35:34In this life,
35:34and every life that follows.
35:46Noah, just now...
35:48What is it?
35:50Nothing.
35:52Maybe my eyes were just bluttered by tears.
36:02It's on, finally.
36:04Enjoy the wedding gift I've given you both.
36:12My ancestors used this altar to shackle their brides,
36:16to force a union,
36:18but I have cleared the blood of the past.
36:20Today, this place will witness a union of choice.
36:25Does the ceremony scare you, Noah?
36:28I can feel your heart racing.
36:30It scares me that I might fail you.
36:32The ritual will drop my barriers.
36:34For one hour, I will be as vulnerable as a human child.
36:38But it is the only way to kill the beast inside me,
36:40and become the man you deserve.
36:42You are already that man, Noah.
36:44You are already that man, Noah.
36:44The beast is just a shadow.
36:46Don't do this for the ritual.
36:48Do it for us.
36:55I will give you a wedding that the legends will sing about.
36:58A wedding where the dragon finally finds his peace,
37:01and the girl finally finds her throne.
37:11That's strange.
37:13Huh?
37:15Maybe I'm just too excited.
37:17My heart, it feels like it's beating incorrectly.
37:20Mine too.
37:22For a hundred years,
37:24it's the first time my heart has raced like this.
37:28Beat away, little bride.
37:30When your heartbeat sinks with mine,
37:33you will know who your true master is.
37:35There is.
37:40Shh.
37:41Is he coming?
37:45Close call.
37:46We have to finish this tonight, Ollie.
37:50Tomorrow, I want to see the dragon king's eyes
37:53when he realizes he's no longer alone.
38:00Am I just too tired?
38:03It's nothing.
38:04Maybe it's just the moonlight.
